761. MICROTROPIS GARCINIFOLIA. (Wall. Euony- — 
mus garcini folia Roxb, Cassine discolor, Wall.) subar- 
borious leaves lanceolar entire acuminated : peduncles 
axillary or supaaxilary short: corymbs small few- 
flowered capsule—2 valved splitting from the base.

Sylhet, (Roxb. Wall.) 
Of this genus little seems to be as yet known, Dr. 
Wallich, with whom it originated, published the names 
of 3 species in his list of Indian plants, but without 
either generic or specific characters. Professor Meisner 
from imperfeet specimens of two of these Pn ا‎ a 
generic charaeter so nearly correct that I was enabled 
from it to refer two or three new species, natives of the 
Neilgherries, to the genus. Dr. Arnott. (Annals of 
Nat. Hist. 3 p. 151,) from more perfect specimens of 
thespecies here figured,drew up a generiecharacter which, 
with a few slight modifications, will include all my new 
species, though differing a little in the capsule. 1 hope 
in a subsequent part to ve enabled to give a more perfect 
character taken from the examination of several species. 
762. LUDWIGIA PROSTRATA. (Roxb.) lower branches 
creeping : leaves alternate, petioled lanceolar flowers 
axillary sessile : capsule filiform with one row of seeds 
in each cell attached immediately to the axis. ۰

763. MABA BUXIFOLIA (Juss.) Ferriola buxifolia 
Roxb. leaves obovate glabrous in the adult state: calyx 
downy : flowers solitary or aggregate, hexandrous, fila- 
ments all simple. @. Don. Diction. 4 p. 43. : 
A frequent shrub in low jungles very abundant in the 
Circars, but also extending to the Southern parts of the 
Peninsula. 
764-5. MynICA INTEGRIFOLIA (Roxb.) leaves lance- 
olar entire smooth; scales of the female aments reniform 
cordate one or two flowered : drupe oval granulated.

Sylhet, grows to the size of a large bush. Flowers De- 
cember and January, fruit ripen in May. The fruit is 
pickled by the natives and used as a condiment; in 
its raw state though inviting to the eye is ton sour to 
be relished. Drupe oval the size of a prune, nut ob- 
long thick and very hard, a little flattened, the two 
edges rather extended and somewhat sharp, densely 
clothed with an immense quantity of fine white hair 
in pencilliform tufts. The pulp consists of innumera- 
ble closely impaced but distinct clavate succulent yel- 
low bodies." Roxb.

AROIDEA, 
Obs. The natural family Aroideæ has of late years un- 
dergone much careful revision, by several most eminent 
Botanists, in the course of which it has been found 
necessary to break down the old Linnean genera and 
construct numerous new ones. The old genus Arum, 
so copiously illustrated in this Part, affords a striking 
example of the correctness of this statement. Of 22 
species described by Roxburgh, in his Flora Indica, 
under that generic name, not one is left. I have notwith- ` 
standing preferred publishing most of his figures under 
his own name, quoting the new ones as synonyms, not 
because I disapprove of the innovations, for I have rot 
yet had an opportunity of determining for myself by ` ` 
examination of the plants the necessity that exists for - 
such numerous changes, but because I think it desira- — 
ble to show the progress he made in elucidating this dif- — 
ficult and, at the time he wrote, imperfectly understood - 
family. EU 
When naming the ን I had not access to any sys- 
tematic description of the order, and now find ` e 
fallen into several errors in writing the synony 
them. Since then, indeed while these sheets were 
ing through the press, I received Kunth’s Enumera 
Plantarum, Vol. 3d ,embracing among others this ፳ 
mily, with the aid of which, I have been enabled, ۱ 
letter press, to correct the errors of the plates. `
